Sofies verden
»Engang må et eller andet da være opstået ud af det tomme intet.« I bunken med familiens post finder Sofie for en gangs skyld et brev til sig selv. Uden frimærke, uden stempel, uden afsender. »Hvem er du?« Mere står der ikke. Mærkeligt! Men det er kun begyndelsen. Snart har Sofie fået adskillige gåder at tumle med. Brevet er det første af mange. Snart modtager Sofie den ene tykke kuvert efter den anden med hvad der viser sig at være et helt grundkursus i filosofi. Brevenes indhold fylder hende med undren over verden og hendes egen eksistens, og over at hun overhovedet er til - men samtidig udspringer det ene mysterium efter det andet af denne forunderlige, ensidige korrespondance. Hvem er f.eks. Hilde Møller Knag? Sofie støder pludselig på hendes navn alle vegne - selv på sit eget værelse ... Sofies verden er både en filosofihistorie og en roman om de to piger. Men filosofiens historie og historien om Sofie hænger nøje sammen. Romanen ender i Hildes baghave - eller er det her, den

Walking Verdun, E-bok
On 21 February 1916 the German Fifth Army launched a devastating offensive against French forces at Verdun and set in motion one of the most harrowing and prolonged battles of the Great War. By the time the struggle finished ten months later, over 650,000 men had been killed or wounded or were missing, and the terrible memory of the battle had been etched into the histories of France and Germany. This epic trial of military and national strength cannot be properly understood without visiting, and walking, the battlefield, and this is the purpose of Christina Holstein's invaluable guide. In a series of walks she takes the reader to all the key points on the battlefield, many of which have attained almost legendary status - the spot where Colonel Driant was killed, the forts of Douaumont, Vaux and Souville, the Mort Homme ridge, and Verdun itself.

Verdun 1916, E-bok
Wrapped in myth and distortion, the Battle of Verdun is one of the most enigmatic battles of the Great War, and the controversy continues a century later. Before the battle the Germans believed they had selected one of the strongest points in the French defences in the hope that, if they smashed through it, the French would collapse. But Verdun was actually a hollow shell since its forts were largely disarmed and the trench lines were incomplete. So why did the Germans fail to take Verdun?rnAs well as seeking to answer this fundamental question, the authors of this perceptive new study reconsider other key aspects of the battle – the German deployment of stormtroopers, the use of artillery and aircraft, how the French developed the idea of methodical battle which came to dominate their military thought after the war. They look too at how Verdun brought about a renaissance of fortress engineering that resulted in the creation of the Maginot Line and the other fortifications constructed in Europe before the Second World War.
